Starting Dec 1, 2006, smoking is one of them.
The new Nova Scotia smoking legislation means smoking will no longer be allowed in bars and restaurants, on restaurant and bar patios, and at events held in private clubs, community centres, arenas and fire halls, to name a few. Workplace smoking rooms will be eliminated too. These amendments to the provincial Smoke-Free Places Act make Nova Scotia’s legislation the strongest in Canada. The goal - to protect Nova Scotians from tobacco smoke.
Nova Scotians have asked for a 100 per cent ban – and that’s what they’re getting. This is just one part of the province’s Tobacco Control Strategy.
